So I went ahead and wrote a simple client by hand and when I call the 
two functions on a local endpoint that shows me the request URL I get 
the following.

Same arguments for 'pretty' and 'labelSelector' in both cases.

Code:

runListSecret :: Manager -> BaseUrl -> ClientM SecretList 
 

runListSecret manager baseUrl = listSecret (Just "prettyArg") (Just "=") 
Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing manager baseUrl 

 
 

runListService :: Manager -> BaseUrl -> ClientM ServiceList 
 

runListService manager baseUrl = listService (Just "prettyArg") (Just 
"=") Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing manager baseUrl

Server log:

127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jan/2017:18:39:49 +0000] "GET 
/api/v1/secrets?pretty=prettyArg&labelSelector=%3D HTTP/1.1" 404 - 0.0003
127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jan/2017:18:39:49 +0000] "GET 
/api/v1/services?pretty=prettyArg&labelSelector=%3D HTTP/1.1" 404 - 0.0003

I haven't used swagger-codegen but the servant-client code works for me 
so I would look more into that.

Swagger codegen looks like it might take me a while to get my head into 
so maybe you could look at the generated code, or sling it to me here or 
directly.

The two calls are so similar that I can't see why the generated client 
would behave differently in those cases.
